I used this item under my desk all last season instead of a typical space heater. I am an energy conscious person and I knew that most small space heaters start at around 1000 watts. They blow hot air which promptly rises to the top of the room. Ironic since most people are complaining about their cold feet. Because this item only draws 90-120 watts, it can very safely be run through a timer. This allows you to have it automatically turn on just before you arrive at the office and turn off when you leave in the evening. There is an odor associated when you first begin using it but it does fade in time to be almost un-noticeable.

The low priced version from Amazon.com was temporarily out of stock so I had to buy the 36" by 16" heated mat from another seller.

NOTE: Rating lowered to two stars due to lack of durability (see update at bottom)

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

The mat with plug and lighted rocker switch plus a set of directions.

I also bought the optional plug in high-low switch which is really a good idea. I will tell you why shortly. I use my mat on top of wall to wall carpeting at the foot of my recliner. It's perfect for the four season family room where I have it sitting in front of my recliner on a carpeted floor although I am debating putting the heated mat under a throw rug. The room has plenty of glass so the thermal transfer is not optimal for cold and windy nights.

Pros -Warms up quickly, no smell from the rubber mat as others have reported. Not only are your feet kept warm but the entire area of personal space warms up to a nice cozy feel. Mat has an on-off switch which lights up when on and goes off when turned off. The optional high-low switch provides plenty of heat on high if your toes get cold. Best way to use it is to turn it on HIGH for a 15 to 30 minutes to warm things up and then switch it to the LOW setting for ongoing warmth. What a great device. It works like it claims.

Cons -None other than the black rubber mat decor theme won't win any awards from home decorating magazine editors. I will try tucking it under a more stylish rug.

Summary: You will like the mat. Do yourself a favor and buy the high-low switch for regulating the temperature on a floor where you walk around in your bare feet or with socks. If you use this on a cement floor, you'd want it at max output just to keep things warm.

One word of caution for anyone getting the idea of using this in a bathroom to warm you feet when you get in and out of the shower. There is no GFI or grounded plug! It's a simple two pin plug so doing so wouldn't be a great idea.

Update 12-27-11

I really like this mat heater. After 3 weeks of use I have concluded the optional high-low switch is a must if you use this to warm your feet when wearing socks or only in bare feet. The high setting is a bit too warm for my liking.

Update 1-15-12

Still working great. I placed a bathroom rug on top of the black mat and it works great and feels better on bare feet or socks. The only downside is my pet bassett hound likes it too.

Udate 3-18-13

After one year of great heat the mat is slowly dying. One six inch section is ambient temp (i.e., cool to the touch) and the rest of the mat is luke warm even at full power. I removed the optional hi-lo switch from the connectin path and it wasn't the problem. I have no idea why it is failing, it just is! The rating has been adjusted to 2 stars because of its lack of durability.

I have had this mat in place under my desk at work and running on high for about a month. It works just as I had hoped. No more cold feet! The smell of "hot rubber" was very evident the first week or so. Even now, if I mistakenly leave it on overnight, there is still a very slight odor that is noticeable when I first come in the office in the morning. (The office is approximately 18'x30' with about 13' high ceiling and is kept closed up at night.) Perhaps with another month or two of use, the smell will go away entirely, but even if it does not, it is not a deal breaker for me because it is hardly noticeable any more.

Honest reviews on Indus-Tool FWB Super Foot Warmer Mat

I use these in my home workshop in the winter. Standing in front of a lathe or milling machine in a chilly shop with cold feet is tough, but with this my feet stay cozy warm and this lets me work in short sleeves in the 50s which provides greater safety around machinery. I've used these for 3 winters now and am very happy with both the heat provided and the durability. I got an identical item from another online retailer.

Completely throwing all warnings out the window (oops), I purchased this with the intent of using it as an energy-efficient heating pad to put under my dogs' bed in the garage. It is definitely energy-efficient, but it doesn't put out much ambient heat. I had the product shipped to work, and it will definitely keep your feet toasty by standing on it! I definitely can't knock it for it doing what it's supposed to do really well! I may have to look into something else to keep my dogs warm, but I think I'll see how this goes when it starts to cool off again.

Also, without putting your face to the mat, there is no smell of rubber. Like I said, I gave it a test run at work when it first arrived. I had it under my computer desk and never noticed any smell coming from the mat.

Discount Surebonder HE-750 Professional High Temp 2 Heater Glue Gun

Customer Ratings:

Unlike other guns I've seen, this one have a 4 finger trigger. You can use your entire hand wich is much better than using just 2 fingers. And the trigger moves back and forward in a straight motion instead of up and down in an arc. With a 4 finger trigger in 45 degrees position (Surebonder Pro 4000), you make the most force with your last 2 fingers wich are the weakest. It's like using a staple gun. A straight trigger, like the one on this gun, is better designed and easier to use.

This gun doesn't drip, it's not too hot (80W) and it's very lightweight. I had an Arrow TR 400 gun with a 2 finger trigger and was disappointed with it. Had to pull very hard to push the glue stick through and I ended up removing the trigger and pushing the stick by hand.

I hope they don't discontinue this item. It's the best glue gun you can buy for $20 bucks and even better than more expensive guns.

And what can be more important than that?! The Wife uses a glue gun in her flower arranging hobby. We have purchased several in the past, to include the Stanley and a couple other "high rated" guns. She prefers this one for several important reasons. First is the stand. It works. For those who regularly use a glue gun, you know how rare this is. The wire stand on the Surebonder is wide enough and strong enough that the gun doesn't fall over. Couple this gun with the Surebonder glue gun stand and you are home free! There is some dripping, but compared to other "dripless" guns, it is almost negligible. It heats quickly and thanks to the design of the trigger, it is less fatiguing to use. This gun gets an easy 5 stars and without going to the $80-$100 professional models, you are not going to get a better gun!

Bought this in 2008. It lasted 3.5 years. I run a business and personally used the glue gun to seal over 2,200 packages. The handle just snapped for some reason. Maybe it's fixable but what's the point. It had a great life and can be replaced for 19.99 (at least as of today). No brainer. If you need a glue gun you can't go wrong. Hopefully my next will last as long as my first. I buy these glue sticks if you are interested, they are 10" (long) by .44 inches. 94 count. So only buy if you need that many. Was 21.00 the last couple times, but now are 30.00. Still a pretty good deal since Amazon sells it with no shipping charge for prime, Surebonder 725R510 10-Inch All Temperature Glue Sticks

Honest reviews on Surebonder HE-750 Professional High Temp 2 Heater Glue Gun

This is the best glue gun I have owned. Heats quickly and holds nearly 10 inches of glue sticks. The big advantage is that this model holds a fresh stick securely as soon as it is inserted. Some cheaper guns will not accept and feed a new glue stick until the old one is nearly out. With this model, as soon as you see the glue stick is getting low, you can add another and it will feed immediately. One other nice feature is that this model does not drip and bubble glue out the tip when not in use-glue stays hot, but waits for the trigger.

I am not employed in any way by surebonder or amazon. I am not being paid or compensated in any way. The gun is a winner. It has glue coming out (slowly at first) within about 40 seconds. I have owned, used, and burned up or smashed about ten glue guns over the years. This is the second best one I have bought. The best one is an industrial quality one that cost me a real chunk of money. If you are looking at cheap 80w glue guns for ten dollars or so, forget it. I bought one one and it is really only about 20w and barely melts the glue. I also bought one that is supposedly 250w and it melts exactly like a cheap 40w with a bad temperature sensor (china junk). Be smart, buy this one and be happy about getting a good tool for cheap. I have owned Arrow, Bostitch, Stanley,Sears, Walmart, and a couple other brands of glue guns. I like this one, it is a good deal, it is made in TAIWAN.

I have a home office in an attic that's sun-baked in the summer and drafty in the winter, and this powerful heater/air conditioner can quickly bring the space to a comfortable temperature year-round.

Unfortunately, the unit is quite loud. The AC fan (which runs continuously even when the compressor is off) is so loud I have to turn it off when making a phone call. And the heater (which turns off completely when not in a heating cycle) makes such a jarring noise when it comes on that I jump out of my seat every time. Since the AC noise is more constant, it wouldn't be a problem if it were further from my desk, but if I had this in a bedroom there's no way I'd be able to sleep with that heater noise. (Update: after using this for a year, I rarely notice the sound of the heater turning on in my office setting.)

Also, despite the unit being marketed as not needing a water tank or drain for air conditioning, it does occasionally leak water onto the floor. Placing a cookie sheet or an improvised aluminum foil pan underneath is an easy solution, but it took me a while to notice what was happening.

Despite these concerns, I'd buy the same unit again due to its environmental features. The dual-hose design makes it more efficient, and the coolant doesn't harm the ozone layer. Unless the noise would be a problem in your situation, I'd recommend it.

I live in San Jose, California and we tend to have a few periods of warm weather (90 degrees and above). I purchased this unit to replace the other AC I had in my living room/kitchen area. This AC is put together very well (I'm girl challenged when it comes to DIY projects). In the past I had AC's where the hoses didn't fit right and here comes the duct tape. This one I didn't need to use any duct tape! Everything fit it perfectly, you can tug and pull on the hoses and their not coming out of their socket. My window size is larger than normal so I had to purchase the extended window kit, which I found on Amazon. The AC has a nice sleek look, kinda looks like a computer server :)

I turned the AC on and it was a breath of fresh air. Within 40 minutes my whole living room and kitchen were cool, at about 74 degrees when it was about 85 degrees outside. Amazing! My other AC unit would only slightly cool the living room and the heat/exhaust coming from the back end of the unit would sometimes interfere with the cooling capabilities of the machine. Not this one! The back side of it isn't extremely hot to the touch and same with the hoses, meaning the machine is running very efficiently. I even had the oven on and it didn't phase this machine. I actually had to turn it the fan lower because I started to get cold.

Others mentioned that it is noisy. I didn't notice the sound too much, but then again the sound of a fan is soothing to me.

The manufacturer did a fantastic job of packaging this machine and UPS did a great job of ensuring the product got safely to my house. The unit is heavy, but it has wheels and glides easily around my hardwood floors. I'm a very happy customer! I would definitely recommend this AC to anyone.

This has been a very hot summer and I was going to be scared to look at the next electric bill........man I was very surprised it only went up $30.00 and this cooler was ran from 7am to 9pm every day! Rated up to 500 sf but it hold it own in keeping a larger area fairly cool, upper 70's but a lot better then the 110+ out side and the 90+ was the coolest that the swamp cooler could do during the day in my elderly fathers home. Very easy to operate as my father does not do electronics or computers very well. There will be a extra bonus now that this has a heater on it for the winter will be able to get rid of the small costly space heaters that he likes to use. This is a great buy for your money.

Honest reviews on Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with Heater

I got this in the mail after doing research for a week straight. I think I know everything there is to know about every type of AC out there. I bought a new house with no AC and its been 90+ since we moved in. AC was priority #1 which is why I spent so long researching. 4-5 hours a day reading anything any everying related.

The issue I have is my whole first floor is one open layout with 25ft vaulted ceilings. 15x25 living room attached to a 15x15 kitchen with a WIDE opening between the two so the AC Had to do both of those rooms and the Height I thought would be a problem given the ceilings were soooo high. Add those two plus a little walkway and open stair case and were talking about 1200 sq ft plus the high ceilings.

Soooo.. I got it in the mail last night and waited 4 hours to plug in as the manual says you should do incase the shipped put it on its side. If they handle it wrong and you plus it right in you will damage the product for good. Setup pipes vertically and used carboard to jimmy rig the extra length I didnt have in the window kit.Ill fix this permanently later. Read the manual and turned it on... Disappointment ... I felt the temp coming out and the speed and thought there was NO way this was going to cool this whole area.

Cleaned up the boxes and said to my wife this thing gets one chance over night. If it doesnt work I am returning it the next day. It was on for two hours while I cleaned up and ate dinner and felt no change so I was really expecting it to now work. I locked up the house. closed all the doors , windows, any thing that would seal the room as much as possible and went up stairs to bed. Again couldnt be more disappointed and upset at this point thinking im an idiot and should have listened to negative reviews.

Woke up this morning and opened my door which is 25 feet up looking down on the living room and a gust of 60-65 degree air hit me in the face... I was shocked it cooled that high up with no other fans helping. Walked down stairs and my place was freezing when it was 85 when I went to bed. Not only that but not one drop of water in the tank so it evaporated it all. Now overnight the temps cooled which helped and the sun will wreak havoc today so I too the intake hose and unhooked it so it would be pulling in cold air from inside the house and cooling it rather than cooling the hot air outside and making it work over time. When I get home today I think the place will be nice and cool even after the sun came out because the house is sealed up and the unit is pulling 65 degreed air from inside the house and spitting it out freezing cold into an already conditioned room. Had I left the intake out I think it wouldn't cool as well during the day pulling 95 degree air.

Long story short, be patient and let the unit catch up with itself and the temps. Dont judge it.My room couldn't have been any worse for this thing to cool and it did its job like a champ. Also use the intake hose properly. Its not ALWAYS good to have it pull air from outside. Sometimes you can optimize the performance by adjusting what air the unit conditions. Right now its pulling inside air but when I go home and sun goes goes and temps get better out side ill put the intake hose back on . Hope this helps.

Im going to try and post a photo of my living room from the bedroom 25 ft up so buyers can see what this thing was capable of.

Discount Dimplex #TD522W Line Voltage Thermostat DPST Switch

Customer Ratings:

This is a very basic double pole line voltage thermostat. I rated it 4 stars because it lacks a thermometer or a temperature adjustment. Also, you have to follow the installation instructions carefully because both red wires go to line and the black to load rather than matching the wire colors in the box. I bought this to replace a top-of-the-line Honeywell which burned out in two years. Line voltage thermostats are becoming harder to find so I felt fortunate to find this one at a reasonable price. Time will tell how well it holds up.

This unit works as great as the other similarly priced units in my home, but it is the noisiest air conditioner I have ever owned and I had a friend install (professionally) it in my bedroom! Think of a cross between constant, non rhythmical tin cans rattling, occasional hail and ice pinging against it, sirens and water gurgling and you have this unit. it will make you crazy. I read the instruction book this morning and sure enough, there is a full half page description of the ghastly "normal" sounds this thing will make that you are expected to live with. Too bad you can't read the booklet before buying. Like I said, none of those sounds "normally" come out of my other air conditioners.

Bought this ac unit for cooling an 800 square foot apartment. It did it, though not how you'd expect. The office it was placed in was very cool and crisp on all but the hottest of days. The unit does struggle above 90 degrees fahrenheit, but below that it is sufficient.

Kept the whole apartment a good 10-20 degrees cooler than outside, which considering it's meant for one room, is not bad.

This heater is truly a great piece for a smaller area. I initially used it exclusively to heat up my small office at work, but for the past 3 years I've used it to heat both my master bedroom and bathroom simultaneously. It worked WONDERFULLY for this. It would make both rooms roasty toasty within an hour or so. Every night we'd leave it on a timed setting so our room would stay warm through the night. I really like that it has the shut off function for when it tips over.

Unfortunately, mine has now died after 3 1/2 years of daily use for 5-7 hours a day. The big flaw with this product is that you can't take off the back to clean out the inside. Mine has sucked in so much dust that it started making the distinct odor of fried electronics when I turned it on last night. I waited a few minutes (it wasn't putting out any hot air during this time either) and unplugged it for the last time.

I would consider buying this again if they improved upon the design.

Honest reviews on Honeywell Digital Ceramic

I bought this heater because my friend had one. When I learned how to stop blowing the fuses in my apartment, I discovered it can stay on low all night long or until you turn it off.

There are two buttons that let you keep it on low. One button on the right with 3 squiggly lines on it and the other is on the far right on the front. Press the big button to turn it on, immediately press the button the left, then the button on the far right. This will keep the fuses from blowing and keep the heater on a low setting for as long as you like. The rotating button on the very top is good for spreading the heat around. It has a tip over feature to turn it off. But if you pick it up while it's still on, it will stop immediately. You should put it on a flat surface because there's a small button on the bottom that triggers the on button when it starts. I put mind on one of those old thick phone books and it's perfect for me keeping me warm when I'm on my computer.

It comes in black or white but I got the black one and it's very nice. It will keep you warm and toasty. Trust me when I write this, I'm picky about being cold during all 4 seasons with this global warming going on. This is the heater that will eliminate that constant nagging of being cold in your house, apartment or room.

This is a good little heater and I would buy this again for myself or as a gift. It's worth the money.

I'm still in love with this heater, Honeywell Ceramic Heater, (black) and I plan on getting 2 more since I ordered the 1st one. My friend gave me his when he moved to Southern California.

When I opened the box and saw the small size of this heater, I almost returned it straightaway. But then I thought, well...Let me try it. Wow! This little guy can put out.

The winter frost hasn't hit yet, but I'm sure that on the higher setting, I'll be nice and toasty.

Being disabled with foot pain daily, I did my research first before buying this and it had the best reviews overall, excepting the heater issue, but with the Amazon Return Policy I wasn't worried. This machine has everything you'd ever want in a foot massager like powerful bubbles, shiatsu balls for each foot, light therapy (don't know if it really helps), a waterfall for your foot top, and best of all, it fits my size 13 4E width men's feet! The heater will keep your water from growing completely cold, maintaining it at about 80-85 degrees, definitely not hot but better than nothing. It would be surprising if a manufacturer made a foot massager heater really all that hot, due to the potential liability issues, especially with children. So overall I'm very excited to own this and am not that concerned about the heater. I start the water at about 110 degrees which gives me a 30-45 minute soak, which is all I need. If you are a woman or just concerned about how your feet look, you'll really love this Conair FB-52 since it has all the pedicure attachments you could ever want. I don't even bother with them but now that I've been using this machine for 2 weeks now, I've noticed that all the dead skin and callouses are entirely gone from my feet, just in rubbing the dead skin off while drying after a soak. This machine comes highly recommended from this customer. It would be a great gift for the woman who has everything, and especially helpful for pregnancy foot pain issues at the end of the day. Overall: Great buy for $40 on a product that will get used.

Unit works well with the blue lights, waterfall, and pumice stone. It's not quite a portable spa, but it is better than a plastic tub with hot water. The instructions say that the heat should last about 20 minutes and it does.

What you should know is that this machine does not heat cold water. You have to put in hot water, about 110 degrees, and the machine will slightly heat the water, but not much. With the bubbles, waterfall, and everything running the temperature drops sharply within about 15 minutes.

If you want a relaxing foot soak with passive massagers, bubbles, and a waterfall, this unit is perfect.

Don't expect too much, though, from a $40 product. Was I happy to have purchased it? Yes. It does everything I want and came at a bargain.

I'll knock it down one star because the marketing builds it up to be more than it is.

Best Deals for Conair Waterfall Foot Spa with Lights, Bubbles, and Heat

Based on documentation the heater is intended to "maintain temperature of warm water"

First use hinted that it wasn't doing the job, so I ran some tests with a digital thermometer. Hot tap water with the unit not plugged in lost 10-11 degrees in 10 minutes.

Same test with the heat/bubbles ON showed a drop of 28 degrees in 10 minutes. Another test with heat/bubbles plus waterfall shoed a drop of 31 degrees in 10 minutes.

Conclusion: the heater is too feeble to keep up with heat loss from room air being mixed with the water (bubbles or bubbles plus waterfall).

We returned for a refund.

I did a lot of product research before adding this particular model to my wish list, where my husband found and purchased it for me. I saw that it got very mixed reviews (as did pretty much all its competitors), but it seemed the best of the lot, and some of the negative comments might be chalked up to product misuse. Unfortunately I must now add mine to the others (I will be returning the product).

Pros:

Lots of bells and whistles. The lighting is pretty (although it serves no other function), and the waterfall is pleasant. While others have complained about excessive splashing, I did not find that to be the case on any setting when filled to the "max" fill line; it did splash out a few drops, but not enough to be any problem. I wonder if some of the complaints about splashing may have been due to over-filling. When the unit is filled to the "max" line, the water does not cover the foot, so it would seem natural to over-fill it. It has several attachments that look like they might have been useful had they been located somewhere accessible to the feet. The massaging rollers might be quite pleasant for someone with very small feet. Aside from the roller usage, the unit is plenty large enough for big feet (mine are size 10, and I believe the unit would even accommodate my husband's size 14 feet, albeit not with much room to move).

Cons:

The unit is horribly uncomfortable. Although I was sitting with my legs in as vertical a position as possible, the narrower width at the heel and straight sides of the unit means that it was quickly causing bruising above my ankles on either side. My feet are too large to make use of the massage rollers, so I removed them; both came out in pieces. The manual said that if the rollers are removed, the feet may be massaged on the gel insert; however, there was no other mention of a gel insert, nor was one included with my unit. The trough that had previously held the massage roller was sharp and painful with it removed.

Not recommended.

Cheap CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a handy little milk frother/heater that works quickly and quietly. The latter quality was a surprise to me, as milk steamer are so noisy. It's really nice in the morning when the rest of the family is still asleep to be able to make a latte quietly. My one beef with it is that it doesn't hold very much only about 6-8 ounces so if you want a bigger drink than that, you have to froth/heat the milk twice. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store.

I am completely loving this milk frother so far. It was a gift for my husband and I was a bit wary when I found this frother at Bed Bath and Beyond... (mine is black instead of white) I hadn't heard of the brand and almost returned it for one on amazon with more reviews... however, for the week we've had it, its been wonderful. You just pour in milk or half and half... I guess whatever you want and it immediately froths... its thick and creamy and actually stays that way for awhile so you can enjoy it with multiple cups of coffee... You can't throw it in the dishwasher, and I was a bit worried about that at first, but its really easy to clean by filling it with water, rinsing it and filling it again then pressing the button... The booklet even recommends using a drop of soap, but I haven't done that.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The only fault I can find with this product is that it does not make cold froth for summertime coffee drinks. Therefore the 4 star rating... I would give it 5 if it frothed cold milk too. It only warms milk, or makes warm froth for hot coffee drinks, but it does that very well. You have a choice of making a small amount or more, in nothing flat! It even turns itself off when ready. I just tried it with my own brewed coffee making it stronger than usual as I did not have the expresso or any of the pre-mixed packets that CBTL sells. I need sugar-free so I added some flavoring, cinnamon and sweetener and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted :D I am the only one in this household who likes frothed/sugar free so this will be perfect for me or any of my visiting guests who like the "skinny lattes."

It couldn't be easier to use, fast clean-up, just rinse the inside & dry. I find myself warning "helpers" not to immerse the product in dishwater that is a pain but it stores nicely and is very sturdy and heavy, not flimsy. Mine arrived in white, not black, as labeled on the packing slip, which would've matched my other appliances, but performance wise, I can't complain. My CBTL milk frother was provided by Amazon's Vine Program for my online unbiased review of this new product.

This would make a great gift for a single person or even the elderly, it is that easy to use :)

Honest reviews on CBTL LM-145P Milk Frother

This frother is great! I like foamed milk with my coffee drinks and a dollop of whipped cream on top. It's as easy as pouring the milk up to the line inside the frother, twisting the cap on (it only locks one way), plugging it in and pushing the button. 90 seconds later it shuts itself off and you have perfect foamy, warm milk. My skim milk scorched a little on the bottom of the frother but the non-stick lining is VERY non-stick and I wiped it right out with a wet paper towel.

(I have this in the black version, same model).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The CBTL is solidly constructed, heavyish, and creates good quality warm, frothy milk (or just plain warm milk.) However, even though it warms and froths milk well, I cannot give it 5 stars (or even 4). For starters, it cannot produce cold frothed milk. Secondly, the unit produces a relatively paltry 4 ounces of frothed milk. Thirdly, the lid is overly complex because it contains the motor and the frother is physically attached to it. There is no submersing the lid to clean it. In fact, one should be very careful cleaning lid so as not ruin it with soapy water. Fourth, the pitcher and base are one unit. Again, with electronics in the base, it is difficult to adequately clean the pitcher. It is easy for water to inadvertently go where it should not go when cleaning the base. Fifth, the unit has to cool down between frothings. So much for frothing two batches of milk back to back. The limited capacity of the pitcher means one can produce frothed milk for one or two cups of coffee or whatever.

I have used many frothers from the plunger style manual frothers by Bodum to the Aerolatte to this CBTL. The CBTL is most similar to the Keurig frother I used to own. Actually, I owned two of the Keurigs. Both of them simply stopped working. The Keurig and CBTL both share the similar flawed design of a one piece pitcher/heater and a lid with a frothing motor and frother attached.

There is one one frother, though, which stands far above the others. It is the:B003LXY2HA Capresso frothPRO]]. The Capresso pitcher is free of electric parts, the lid has no motor, it has a large capacity, can produce both warm and cold frothed milk, is incredibly easy to clean, and is priced well.

So: the CBTL is a very nice unit. But as long as the Capresso is available, it would be difficult to make the CBTL one's first choice.

And one more thing, the description says the CBTL is made in Italy. My unit is clearly marked "made in China".

Best Electric Infrared Heater, 6142 BtuH, 120V Deals

Customer Ratings:

For a fairly expensive space heater that promises "infrared" techonolgy, I kind of thought I was going to be toasted from head to toe. It claims it heats solid objects not the air. True, but it heats only directly in front of the heater. It has no range, or radius around the heater itself. Thus, if you are sitting in a deck chair smoking a cigar on your porch during a northest winter (which is why I bought the item), your legs will be toasty, but from the waist up you're still freezing. It needs to be coupled with the same type of item suspended from some fixture to warm your upper body.

Easy to set up & use, and it keeps feet nice & warm. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars because (a) it's made of hard plastic that's a bit uncomfortable after a while on bare or stocking feet, and (b) it's a bit overpriced. It's just a piece of injection-molded plastic with a small heating element... should be more like $40. It has 3 heat settings: off, foot-warmer, and radiant-panel. Haven't tried the panel setting, but the foot-warmer setting is nice. Would be better if there were more of a range of settings (foot-warm-low, foot-warm-high), and for the price I'd kinda expect this. A good feature is the angled base: when sitting in a chair and stretching your feet out to it, the angle is comfortable on the ankles. I put mine on a plug-in timer: no need to consume 90 watts 24/7, I only run it from 2PM to midnight. In summary, despite the omission of a few minor features and being slightly pricey, I'm glad I got it and I would recommend it to anyone looking to end cold feet under their desk.

This heated footrest isn't the best there could be, but it's pretty much all there is. There are very few of these sorts of products on the market, which surprises me because it's such a simple and practical solution to the cold feet issue. Plus giving you a good foot-rest for those who work in office chairs all day.

As stated by others, there are only two settings. My 'low-for-feet' setting only worked once. I turned it to high after I decided that the low setting, after being on for almost an hour, became that exact temperature of the bath tub water which is still warm enough to sit in, but it's become just cool enough that you really want to turn on the hot water and try to warm it up. Not satisfactory. Also, it warmed ONLY the soles of my feet. Top, back, sides, ankles all remained cold.

So I flipped it to high setting, and I think mine was defective because the red 'on' light began to randomly switch between high and low setting. I thought this was the 'safety switch' feature which is supposed to cool the thing down before it overheats. It got really, really hot to the touch after this. Not hot enough to instantly burn, but hot enough that I could not put my feet directly onto the plastic. I solved the issue by folding up a towel and putting it on top, and putting my feet on the towel.

Still, tops of my feet got cold so I put a second towel over the tops of my feet and that worked ok. Not ideal.

I tried turning it back to the low setting, but it remained just as hot. Now whether I turn it to the high or low setting, both of them get pretty hot... either my TT is defective and stuck in 'high' mode, or the foot-rest setting is also a little too hot. I'm too lazy to return it, since I figured out a solution that works great for me.

I solved the issue of the just-a-bit-too-hot temperature by using a pair of Herbal Concepts Hot/Cold Comfort Booties. I wear the booties when I am using the TT footrest. The bean-bag in the bottom of the booties diffuses the intense heat from the foot rest so it's comfortable, and the foot rest keeps the bean-bag warm all day so I don't have to make a lot of trips to the microwave. Works great together! Plus, I needed to wear something on the tops and backs of my feet (more than just socks) or they stayed cold, while the bottom of my foot roasted. (I actually got burned spots on the bottoms of my feet from resting them too long in one place, but the tops of my feet were still cold.)

Now the booties keep top and back of feet warm, and if my feet get too warm, I can take the booties off of the foot rest for a while, let the bean-bag bottoms cool down a touch, then put them back on to heat up again. I also put my shoulder-wrap bean bag thing (similar to this: Herbal Concepts Organic Cotton Herbal Fan Shoulder Wrap Natural) onto the TT foot rest for a while, until it got nice and warm, then I put that on my shoulders and I'm warm top and bottom!

Otherwise, there is no way the TT foot rest could be used as a real radiant heat panel. On high setting, it ALMOST gets too hot for your SKIN to be touching it for very long, but you have to be within literally an inch of the panel to feel much heat coming off of it. If you were more than a couple of inches away from it, I can't imagine even the most sensitive person could feel anything. It's made to be touched, I think they just threw in the 'heat panel' thing as an advertising gimmick. The way the legs work and everything, it's not really meant to stand up on its edge like that. They just cheaped out, and didn't know what to do about the super hot setting, so they called it a 'radiant heat panel.' Uh-huh.

Last quibble; the feet for this thing are cheapo plastic shaped like a half of a tire, and attach (if you can call it that) to the big, flat plastic heat panel top by two little knobs that slide in a cheap plastic slot cut into the 'arch' of the tire shape. So the thing can slide through the slot forward (toward you), so it's angled, or it can slide back (away from you), so it's flat. Because nothing is really attached, this made the foot rest feel very flimsy to me at first, and I didn't like how it shifts and wiggled when I move my feet. I felt as if ANY amount of pressure on this thing (like if you accidentally stepped on it, God forbid) might break the legs right off, because looking at that slot, it's not very thick plastic or very strong at all, and neither are the knobs on the underside of the heat panel.

Seeing as this is a kind of stool, I think it's impractical to have made it with feet that aren't really strong enough to be stepped on. Sure, it's only a 'foot rest' and supposed to carry no weight, but whatever. Stuff happens. Hopefully not to me, this was too expensive to keep replacing it.

However, after a few days I got to kind of like the way it 'rolls' back and forth, because it's a way to kind of semi-stretch, by rolling your ankles forward and the whole thing slides on the knobs and goes flat, then rolling them back toward you and it goes angled again. Kind of like ankle exercise. I guess.

The cheap-o plastic basket weave on top is obnoxious. They gave it a really rough texture obviously trying to compensate for the fact that they were too cheap to give it a rubber mat on top. Even with the super rough texture, it's still too slick for shoes to stay put, especially women's slick-sole shoes. Even my leather slippers slid off the top of this thing. Very, very slick plastic. Needs a rubber mat.

So in conclusion, with some creativity it does the job, gets plenty warm enough when you use large slippers or booties or towels or shoes with thick rubber soles or SOMETHING to insulate your feet from the foot rest itself. But for sixty bucks (and that's better than the eighty it is supposed to be sold at) I really would have expected 1) more variety of heat settings, 2) a rubber top so your shoes don't keep slipping off, 3) more sturdy legs attached better than a little knob in a plastic slot which looks breakable, and 4) if it's going to be advertised as a radiant heat panel, it should actually be able to perform this function.

I'm going to use this as long as it lasts, and hope something better comes on the market for when I need to replace it.

Best Deals for Indus-Tool TT Toasty Toes Ergonomic Heated Footrest

I love this foot warmer!!! I've had it for a few weeks now. I replaced my space heater at work with this foot warmer and I couldn't be happier. I always have cold feet and ankles. The space heater just makes my upper legs too hot and my feet were still cold. This is the perfect solution!! I usually have it set at the highest setting I love that when I get up to walk away my shoes hold the heat for a few minutes.

I want to order another one for my computer desk at home. I wish it was cheaper. $60+ is a little high.

Edited to Add:

I got the second one at home. I LOVE it. Things this product could do to improve. (1) Offer a lower setting so it can be used with bare or socked feet. It's a little too toasty directly against the skin. (2) Put a remote switch on the cord that could be placed up on the desk. It isn't easy crawling under the desk to turn it off/on. The little switch is NOT manipulatable with your toes trust me, I've tried and tried.

However, this is still an AMAZING product and I highly recommend to any who suffer from cold feet like I do.

Updated 09-Sep-2012

My original toasty toes has died. :( It got harder and harder to get the footrest to adjust its tilt so I would sorta stomp on it until it moved. Well, I killed it. The attachment bolt which is plastic sheared off and one foot no longer was attached. I'm so bummed. I still have my second toasty toes. I'm much more careful now when adjusting the tilt. Sometime I need to flip the thing over and move the feet with my hands. Still worth the warm toes/feet though. :-)

Honest reviews on Indus-Tool TT Toasty Toes Ergonomic Heated Footrest

This heated footrest has saved me from the horror of frozen toes. It's made of sturdy plastic and the lower of the two settings provides more than enough warmth. The only downside is that it's easy to leave switched on and turning it on and off involves some grovelling around under the desk. Happily both these problems are solved by adding a Intermatic TB121C Digital Tabletop Lamp and Appliance Timer which both allows you to set a couple of daily "off" times (so the footrest is never left on for more than a few hours) and also provides a desktop on/off switch.

I bought two of these, one for my wife, one for me. My wife uses hers mostly for the stand-up heater. I read all the reviews before I bought. The assembly of the two legs was easy and the directions very clear. I read the reviews about it being "cheap plastic". I don't know how "cheap" it is, but yes it is plastic. We don't jump on them or abuse them...so far, no problems. What might be construed as a problem is the amount of heat it puts out. Well duh, you bought a heater!

After a while, it does get too hot for my bare feet, so I put a towel on it. If it is still too warm, I turn it off for a while. Am I getting too logical? Doesn't have a thermostat or remote control...it's a heater, not a computer. Would the extras be nice, sure, but then the price would have to go up. Would I recommend this, definitely.

The handles\straps seem very durable with tough looking nylon shell.

The inner surface is a shiny sort of plastic ... so I'd advise keeping these away from high heat.

I'd like these a tad better if they weren't quite so long and had a little more width.

Best Deals for Canvas Log Carrier

This canvas log carrier is great. It's large enough and long enough (over 2') to hold enough wood for a fire that should last through the evening. It's also lightweight -which helps when carrying heavy wood. And finally, the closed design (rather than something with open ends / sides) helps to keep splinters and dirt from getting tracked through the house.

Where I live I don't get enough heat. This is my second halogen heater. It gives out very good heat and warms up my living room excellent. My first one did last about two years and then it stopped working, I had to get another one. I believe the wire burnt out after constant use but it really did the job for me and did not send up my eletricity bill. It lights up bright but we got use to the brightness, it has two settings and it rotates. Halogen heaters are also cheeper to run. I am going to buy a third one for the bedroom.
